Fifty Questions That Christians Can't Answer

[Dotard]

NO SUCH THING AS A DYING ATHEIST???

Dude. Look in the "Self Injury" thread, read my story.

---

Mountain biking with a friend. Fell off the mountain.

Broke three ribs, snapped the collar bone (left one) and splattered my spleen.

We was deep in the woods so it took awhile before the EMS could carry me down the path, out of the woods to a four-wheel drive rescue vehicle, load me into an ambulance and cart me to the hospital.

Rolled me into the operating room, knocked me out and I woke up three and a half weeks later in the intensive care.

Seems I lost chingos of blood and was hovering next to death. Spent another 2 days conscience in the IC unit, transfered to a regular hospital room and spent the next four weeks in there.

I have a nice zipper scar from mid/lower chest damn near down to my junk.

Been spleen free for about 10 years now.

I like to tell folks I've travelled into the future. I 'went under', and what seemed to me like merely falling asleep and waking up (seemingly instantanously), I woke up almost four weeks later! I travelled damn near 30 days into the future! \o/

And after all this it gave me the idea for a time travelling machine. It only works one way (into the future) and the technology to implement it does not exist yet, but it would work!
Then I realized how this same basic idea could be be implemented in order to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

One day I'll fill you all in on it. Not now 'cause I gotta go take a dump.

I was dying and I knew it. I was 100% totally convinced that when I went under that was the last of the world I was gonna see, I wasn't coming back.

Right before they wheeled me away they paraded the family and friends thru, first the parents, then the girlfriend, then the sisters then the brothers then the friend. (Yes THE friend I had only one) Each one completely obviously saying "goodbye".

Yup, 100% absolutely positively convinced that was the end. Game over man.

Never once did I even feel compelled to call out to the supernatural. Never once did I consider praying or appealing to any God.

After I did 'return' from the damn near 30 day coma and regained my alertness the doctors told me they had little hope I would pull through. They expected me to die given the loss of blood I incured. Small chance of surviving the major surgery I immediatly needed.

Family and friends told me the doctors told them that and that is why they marched them all through while I was still conscious, to say goodbye.

Yup 100% absolutely convinced I was dying. Still an atheist? Yup.
Even on the deathbed I could not trick myself into believing something my rational self told me long ago was more fairy tales.

Christians don't piss me off, it's people who make stupid statements like "There's no such thing as a dying atheist." who piss me off.

Someone has a sig here that says something like "It's not christianity I hate, it's their stupid-fukin' fan club I hate." Or something like that. I couldn't agree more.
